Money Laundering Charges against Bobrisky were Dropped Lawfully – EFCC

Bilikisu Bala, lead prosecutor for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), addressed the House of Representatives Joint Committee investigating corruption allegations.

She explained the dismissal of money laundering charges against Idris Okuneye, aka Bobrisky.

Initially, six charges, including naira abuse and money laundering, were filed based on Okuneye’s confession.

However, after verifying with the Special Control Unit, the EFCC discovered Bob Express was not a Designated Non-Financial Institution.

Consequently, the money laundering charges were dropped, and the EFCC proceeded with four counts of naira mutilation, to which Okuneye pleaded guilty.

Bala denied allegations of bribery, citing the Administration of Criminal Justice Act’s provision for charge amendments as standard procedure.
